They are really delivering with the surprises in this line! Shadow Weaver is probably my most wanted. The Filmation possibilities are endless, Lizard Man?!
This is the second time they have shown Adora as her Filmation version. Things just got even more interesting.

It's great to see fanart being used for promotion!
They can do that since the legal disclaimer on this site gives Mattel the right to do that.
It's doubtful it will be used any further than that. But still great to see!

I don't meant to brag, I just think we all did a job good enough and the images we created stuck in people's mind.

For someone like me, grown with Rudy Obrero's and Alcala's illustrations, this is possibly one of the best accomplishment :-)

Agreed!

MotU got me into Art, drawing and painting. So to see Mattel use my art even in the littlest of ways is very humbling and very satisfying.

Glad to see folks aren't tired of that ONE painting of the lovely green lady.

What a wild and wacky 2010 we might have if MOTUC's line-up resembled anything even close to what they've shown on that slide. Plus Battle Cat and Orko. Plus whatever else is coming that we haven't even been dropped a hint about. Plus the SDCC 2010 exclusive. I need a few new jobs

Wow...this is certainly interesting. I'm worried about getting my hopes up, but it would be strange of them to show characters like Lizard Man and Shadow Weaver if there's just straight up no chance of getting them. I wonder what's going on?

I'm super excited about NA, btw.

Im thinking that the reason they showed Shadow Weaver is because thats the 200x version that Emiliano designed and not the filmation version. They might have found a loop hole 2 make her...just a thought

Maybe. But that doesn't explain why the showed the Filmation version of Adora. Or Lizard Man, who is a Filmation character also.

Shadow Weaver AND Lizard Man?? I really, REALLY hope this means they acquired the rights to the Filmation Library! Although it seems odd that they'd be changing key character names then (i.e. Horde Supreme) if this really were the case, unless this is simply a recent change in ownership, but at the very least, it seems they have licensed some Filmation characters from ER, or maybe these are the few characters that Mattel has surprisingly already had rights to.
Hmmmmmmm....

Either way, VERY EXCITING! And I'm just as stoked to see the Preternian Giants as well as the NA characters!

Regarding Shadow Weaver, didn't Mattel/Toyguru say that, due to legal reasons, they didn't even wanna poke the hornets nest by making one of the male Weavers in MYP a female?

So I would guess they're not doing a MYP-esque version? They probably licensed her or she's the mysterious 'previously unavailable' (but now available) character that Emiliano was talking about at one time. The one POP character that Mattel had the rights to all along.

That's what I was referring to as well! *fingers crossed*

Although the best case scenario would be that they acquired the complete rights from ER....

My plan is simple. I'm going to start stocking up on can goods & bottled water now, so I won't have to buy as much food when these figs come out. Does anybody know If I could make atleast $50 a month from donating blood?

Time is now creeping along. Will July ever get here?

I'm disabled because I chose to drink & drive. I broke my neck, when I totaled my car. I was in the exact same condition as Christopher Reeves was, but I regained my ability to walk. Please don't drink & drive. To read my story, checkout my website & share it with your family & friends.

very exciting, but I refuse to get over-excited over this (well a little)

I'm not the biggest Filmation fan, but would buy any in a heartbeat, because I'm sure the 4HM will work their magic on them. Shadow Weaver and Adora I'm looking forward to the most, but after the Green Goddess - After seeing the painted Teela, I need a GG figure even more.

My biggest fear thus far with the MOTUC line has been that Mattel doesn't have the rights to the classic Filmation POP/MOTU storylines, which I soooo want kept intact for the most part when it comes to the future film(s) storylines and the new MOTUC bios; so this would be most excellent if they did get those rights back.
